Wise and learned Monks.

I am currently working on an application for my company which will be used for Remote Diagnostics of Heavy Equipment. I have written a multi-user socket server in php which will receive data from these machines and store it in a temp file. I have chosen to use perl for the manipulation of this data as I feel that it is a bit stronger in this area than PHP. However, I'm not entirely sure how to go about this. I've been working at this for about a week now and have the ability to manipulate static data within a file loaded with a few thousand lines of test data, but am not sure how to do the conversions on the streaming data.

For a rough outline of what I need to accomplish you can have a look HERE

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. FWIW, I am a relative n00b when it comes to perl;-)

Cheers
